Roman naval reconstructions - ongoing projects
#16
Someone posted a picture of one of these ships being rowed on a river by fully armoured legionaries. It was a great photo, with a soldier with a balista in the bow....would anyone have a high definition photo of this? I would love that as a screen saver. And a photo on the wall.... Big Grin

That sounds like the kalkriese ship with the Opladener. Just google for Römerschiff VICTORIA.

Hi Byron,

I have just found these two documentaries yesterday (better be good in german):

http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/#/beitra ... e-Barbaren
http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/#/beitra ... oms-Grenze

Both are featuring the above ship with the unfortunate armoured legionaires rowing crew Big Grin and last but not least they are pretty good documentaries on their own as well I think.
Valete,

I would like very much to invite you all to the scientific online forum for maritime archaeology
link from old RAT.

It's all about reconstructions of ancient ships. We work on hundreds of ship illustrations and finished a good dozen of them already. We just finished our graphical reconstruction of the famous "Rotaremis vehiculum", one of the few paddlewheel ships the Romans used. This particular one is from AD 384.

The forum is brand new, so you won't see any dust anywhere. And you wouldn't see yet many members, but you're free to promote us and invite as many of your friends as possible...
